Ossiarch Bonereapers – Arch-Kavalos Zandtos
10" 8 3+ 2 Few undead beings loathe the living with such fearsome intensity as Arch‑Kavalos Zandtos. To him, even the most cultured aelven lord is nothing more than a contemptuous barbarian seeking to sully the deathly perfection of Shyish. Riding at the head of the Ossiarch’s elite cavalry formations, Zandtos seeks to annihilate all those who bear the taint of mortality, banishing their presence from his beloved realm for good. Such is his zealotry on this subject that even Katakros has on occasion had cause to censure the Arch-Kavalos for indulging his ruthless aggression. Yet the Mortarch of the Necropolis never keeps Zandtos leashed for long, because his mastery of cavalry warfare is a weapon too valuable to be cast aside.
Wielding the fabled Dark Lance itself – both a murderous weapon and an exalted staff of office – Arch-Kavalos Zandtos charges into battle eagerly, plunging his weapon through the flesh of his foes while his warsteed stomps and kicks furiously. His hatred of mortalkind is so intense that it affects nearby Kavalos riders, stirring the smouldering embers of their souls into a battle-fury that sees them recklessly hurtle into combat in pursuit of victory. | ||

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.Charge (+1 Damage)

Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.

Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
